Welcome to Thankful Thursday - January 17, 2013

Scenes from last year this time!

Devote yourselves to prayer,

being watchful and thankful.

Colossians 4:2Greetings Sweet Friends,Hope you have had a great week!Mine has been very good, seems like it has justflown by, can't believe tomorrow is Fridayalready, and that we are half way thru January already too ...........how the timedoes fly.......................

#1

I am thankful

that my house is finally back to normal other

than a few things that I still need to put away,

that are stashed for now in the guest bedroom.

#2

I am thankful

for the phone call of a dear friend of 40 years

that I have only emailed with for awhile, she

has really gone thru a very hard time, but seems

to be doing pretty well inspite of it, and she

sounded just the same, and still has her wonder-

ful sense of humor. She is such a sweetie, and

her phone call was such a delight. We will be

doing that more often now.

#3

I am thankful

for that new store we found, that I told you about yesterday. Always fun to find something new.

#4

I am thankful

for the things we are learning, and that we arehaving such a great time with our Sunday School

class. We have some really sweet students.We are doing a video series by Andy Stanleycalled" Staying in Love", it is really good.I

#5

I am thankfulfor Insurance, health, dental, home, auto and life Insurance. Sometimes they can seem a nuisance, like now, as we have a claim that should have been paid but wasn't but we could have none at all and that would be way worse...........so good to have it especially when it is really needed.....................#6I am thankfulfor my washer and dryer.... What if we had to beat our clothes on rocks down by the pond, or use a wringer washing machine?? I remember years ago when I just didn't have a dryer and had to hang everything outside, what a long wash day that made, and really bad if it rained on the weekend when I did my laundry all day, after working all week outside the home. Great inventions I might add!! lol

#7I am thankfulfor my life, it is great to be alive and that in andof itself is a blessing, but I also love my life andwouldn't trade it for anyone else's, and that isreally a blessing.#8I am thankfulto be able to sit for long spells and work oncards again.............feel like I am starting allover again with my new card package, butwill just need a lil practice and it should allcome back quickly, I hope!! lolJust finished designing a new card front for a young ladies birthday, and very pleased with the outcome, so am encouraged.

#9I am thankfulthat we were able to go for a nice briskwalk tonight. It felt so good, but towardsthe end I was feeling it a bit, but thinkit will be fine. It has been quite a whilesince we have done that too.#10I am thankfulthat we had such a fun time at Dee andJerry's last Saturday, I got about 31/2 hrs.of one on one time with her, then the restof the family came, so it was a great timehad by all................

#11I am thankfulthat is has cooled off tonight, right now it is 54 buttonight, it is going to 40 and will be a high of 66 degreestomorrow, but then Sat. it will be back to 74 degrees............go figure!!One cold day is better than none... lol#12I am thankfulfor the opportunity to help someone thatneeded help tonight, and that is always a blessing.Know it is Friday morning but just went to visit Cindy over at Dwellings, and she had a great post, so I just had to comeback and make it my #13I am thankfulfor this wonderful post that she did and thewonderful message of it all.

Well, those are my thankfuls for the week, trust that you have a few of your own.Thanks for droppin' by,look forward to hearing from you.Have a Fabulous Friday and a Wonderful Weekend,Love, Hugs, and Cool Weather Blessings,Nellie

You know I always enjoy your thankful list! I get so busy reading that I forget about your beautiful photos, and I find myself going back to look at them. ~smile~Your home is beautiful. I like the checked table cloth, and have been looking a red one for me. Thanks for sharing.Blessings,Sue

I am thankful for my washer and dryer too. But I still like to hang out my sheets in the summer time. When my two oldest were in diapers I used to hang out diapers every other day.

Our son will be down this weekend so I am looking forward to spending time with the family. I can't wait to see the grandkids.

Einstein is still a challenge for me. But we are getting him on a schedule. I still feel like a new mom that has to get up a couple times a night. I think God placed him in my life for a reason. And that reason is to relax and love him. It takes the focus off all my issues.

#1. That's me. After they finished my floors, I was able to get everything back where it was. It's so nice to have my kitchen counters cleared again!#2. It's great when the LORD has our friendships with others for so many years! Sylvia's and my friendship is going on 30 years!#3. Did you see the new Dollar Store that is going in next to the old Winn Dixie (closed now) plaza! It is huge!#4. I have really been enjoying my class since I don't have to be in the sound booth anymore!#5. Yes! (my floors!) I'm suppose to be getting back the $1,000.00 deductible since the heater was defective!#6. I remember the wringers, ha! I still need to get a new dryer. I want to go to a scratch and dent, but there are none around us anymore!#7. Isn't it great to be content as Paul mentions in Philipians 4!I always think, "I am thankful for who I am, where I am, & how I am!" When I want to "gripe' about something, I say to myself, "Nope, you are greatly blessed, Susan." There are many others who are are in greater difficulty!#8. I just made some birthday cards to mail to each of the ladies in my Bible study class. I had cardboard bookmarkers I put in their cards last year. This year I have little magnetic bookmarkers that clasp over the page!#9. I had a brisk walk today, down to the mailbox and back in the cold air with the wind blowing all over, ha!#10. I always love the family gatherings!#11. I enjoy the cool, but not the cold, ha!#12. Isn't it a great feeling!!#13. Thank you for sharing this!Love to you all, Susan

Great list this week Nellie! Love your photos. Growing up we didn't have a dryer either and my mom was forever hanging the clothes on lines in the basement near our furnace or out in the back yard. One time someone walked into our back yard and stole my jeans! About 3 pairs! They were designer jeans that I used my birthday money to buy. :( Enjoy your weekend!

No washer! No way. When ours broke down (it was brand new too!) we had to go a week waiting for the part to come. The wringing out the water by hand was so painful on the wrists. I don't know how people did it. I I never want to find out again.LOL! I love all your red checks. It made it all look so cozy.Always a pleasure to visit! hugs♥,Caroline

Always remember there will always be someone smarter,
prettier, more talented, more personable, more well off,
more gifted, more liked, or more spiritual, but don't be
jealous or intimidated, it is a huge waste of your time
and energy..............
and Always remember you are that to someone else!
